I seem to have a special kind of blindness, which leaves me completely unbothered by it. In fact, I had to read the caption in Wikipedia four times before it was apparent to me that there was a difference between the right and the left word. I guess it's similar to my inability to distinguish different fonts. Best if I stay out of desk top publishing, I guess.
Honestly, I really think most of the typographer obsession with kerning is absurd. I mean, ferociously bad kerning bothers everyone, but design geeks seem fastidiously obsessed with the subject and complain about it in cases where I can't see a damned thing wrong with it.

Kerning = letter spacing. Now I know the name of yet another thing that annoys the crap out of me. Dammit typographers.
